These sound good. I thought I may make them to take away but I think that I may consume them all befoire we even get there. :-\

I think I will make these, but instead of walnut I'll use almond. Thanks for making me aware of this recipe.

Sounds yum, Cookie.  Do you have to blanch the almond first?

I wasn't going to. More fibre. Actually I might go off and do these now. Beats cleaning the bathroom.

Made one this arvo, 100g dried nectarine, 100g dates, 100g almond with skin.  Found that this time a bit dry, so put 1/2 lime juice (have plenty from the garden).  I love this one better then the first version.

Yesterday I made 2 batches of these: Walnut and Date and Apricot, Date and Almond.

All I can say is quick, easy and delicious! The Walnut and Date almost taste like little sticky date pudding balls. I am inspired to try out different combinations. The Apricot ones were a little drier than the walnut and date but I like the idea of a bit of lime juice for moisture. Even my almost 2 yr old didnt turn up her nose- they look just like choc truffles! :)

Happy to have found these quick easy sweet treats to freeze and take to work and bring out when guests are here. At health food stores you pay a fortune for those date logs and these are very similar!

I have to agree they are delicious. They disappeared very fast here. I must make some more.
